Finite Element Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Beams Exposed to Fire
Abstract: The practical implementation of performance-based fire safety design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures hinges on the availability of accurate numerical simulation tools for the behavior of RC members exposed to fire. This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model for the accurate prediction of both the thermal and the mechanical behavior of RC beams expose...
متن کاملTowards a fragility assessment of a concrete column exposed to a real fire –
Fires can cause substantial damage to structures, both non-structural and structural, with economic losses of almost 1% GDP in developed countries. Whilst design codes allow engineers to design for the primary design driver, property protection is rarely, if ever, designed for. Quantification and design around property protection has been used for some time in the seismic community, particularl...
متن کاملDamage Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Considering Irregularities (RESEARCH NOTE)
Structural damage can be controlled in performance based seismic design (PBSD) according to the requirement under a certain hazard level. During strong ground motion (GM) such buildings suffer minor to major damages depending on the shaking level of GM. The available damage assessment methods are complex, tedious and time-consuming procedure. In the present study, a simplified empirical model h...
متن کاملTowards Fragility Analysis for Concrete Buildings in Fire: Residual Capacity of Concrete Columns
Fire engineering a building, in general, has one central performance objective – life safety – and property protection is rarely explicitly considered. The engineering is typically based on only one possible fire, which may not represent the most onerous scenario (or may be much too onerous to be considered realistic). Taking inspiration from fragility analyses used in seismic engineering, this...
متن کاملProbabilistic assessment of the seismic damage in reinforced concrete buildings
The main objective of this article is to assess the expected seismic damage in reinforced concrete buildings from a probabilistic point of view by using Monte Carlo simulation. To do that, the seismic behavior of the building is studied by using random capacity obtained by considering the mechanical properties of the materials as random variables. Starting from the capacity curves, one can obta...
